Aug 9th 1802.

Henry Ibbotson and Mary his wife, of Bridgehouses, committed to Wakefield for assaulting and wounding

Elizabeth Berry, their niece:

" These poor wretches were filled with the idea of being bewitched by the

young woman, and had long meditated a plan to draw blood from her, which they fondly imagined

would break the charm that afflicted them. Meeting her in our market on Saturday evening;, (7th,)

they both at once assailed her; tho wife with her teeth bit her inhumanly in the arm, and the husband

with a sharp instrument, stabbed the unfortunate woman in the body."
